Relapsing more than I’d like
I’m fairly new to this app, I’ve always known I had a problem but never did anything to stop it, after i started the journey to quitting, I did really well, but I relapsed, and I feel like shit, because I want to be a better man, but the urges no matter how hard I try to suppress them, catch me off guard in my most vulnerable times, do you guys have any tips or tricks that you use to stop the urges from taking control??
Most of the time when we decide to quit there is some sort of motivation inspiring us to make the change we know we need to. The problem is as the days go that motivation fades and you need to rely more on self discipline to carry you through. What has helped me is constantly reminding myself of that feeling of motivation that pushed me to start my journey. The problem is a lot of the times we forget how we were feeling that moment we decided to make the change. You have to constantly remind yourself of that feeling everyday, make a consistent effort everyday! When you have that feeling running through your body youre powerful because that is your true self. Write down how you are feeling in that moment in a journal and read what you wrote everyday. You need to latch on to that feeling everyday until you have the discipline to the point that is who you are every moment of everyday… I hope this helps. You are strong. You got this. Dont forget it.
